Chapter 31: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 12

So...

Just as Peter's son, still shaken, began to catch his breath, a blood-streaked, terrified ghostly face appeared right before his eyes.

It was even pressed against him.

In an instant, his face turned pale, and his eyes went blank.

His eyelids flipped, and he fainted, collapsing to the ground.

Luo Ge took in the entire scene; he had to admit that this son's mental resilience was far inferior to his sister's.

As expected, the information he had gathered earlier was accurate; this son was a good-for-nothing, so they would proceed with the original plan.

Gastly, seeing that this person was so easily frightened, immediately lost interest, pouted, and resumed its invisible state.

The collapse of those few Jigehei Gang members just now was also done by Gastly.

Gastly didn't even need to use a move; its mere physical presence was enough to achieve this.

Because Gastly is a gaseous lifeform, 95% of its body consists of poisonous gas.

And the toxins contained in this gas are extremely potent; it is said that if surrounded by the gas, even an Indian elephant would collapse within two seconds.

This shows just how powerful the deadly poison within Gastly is; it drifted around casually, and those few Jigehei Gang members died from suffocation and poisoning.

Peter shuddered in fear; his flushed face rapidly cooled down, turning as pale as paper.

He no longer had the heart to think about his son; his only thought was how to survive.

Survival is the most important thing!

He had both money and power; as long as he lived, he could enjoy a happy life.

He still hoped to live to be a hundred years old and enjoy a few more years.

Under immense psychological pressure, Peter forced a flattering smile and reached into his pocket to take out a handkerchief to wipe away his sweat.

In just a few breaths, a pile of cold sweat had broken out on his forehead, and his back was soaked with it.

But he knew deeply that the more critical the moment, the less he could panic.

Machi's eyes narrowed; her agile hands quickly pulled up and down, and her wrists, protected by bracers, moved swiftly.

Suddenly, Peter was trapped by countless hard threads, with even a sharp thread suspended around his neck.

Machi's cold voice echoed in the room: "If you move your hand even once, the thread will slice through your throat."

Gulp.

Peter swallowed with difficulty; more cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he dared not make even the slightest large movement.

He feared that if he accidentally moved, the thread would slice his throat, at which point there would truly be no way to turn the tide.

At this moment, Peter completely lost his backbone and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"My lords, please have mercy and spare me; I was momentarily blinded and did such a foolish thing."

Watching Peter switch seamlessly to a humble expression, Shizuku tugged at Luo Ge's hem and asked curiously:

"Luo Ge, is this the 'face-changing' you mentioned? You said before that petty people are all like this."

Luo Ge patted Shizuku's head and smiled softly, saying, "Yes, he is."

Peter was momentarily speechless; looking at the laughing group, although fury burned in his heart, he could only force a sycophantic smile.

Inside, he thought that once he was freed, he would gather more subordinates and tear these three children to pieces.

After a brief laugh, Luo Ge prepared to begin the real matter; his gaze swept over Peter and finally settled on Zhu Di beside him, asking:

"Zhu Di, is it?"

Zhu Di was startled in her heart, then hesitantly nodded.

"You are the daughter of Peter, the head of the Elara family; before you, there was an older brother."

"Since childhood, you have shown considerable wisdom, handling matters big and small in an orderly fashion."

"But your family never looked favorably on you, always marginalizing you, unwilling to let you handle important affairs, and certainly not letting you inherit the position of family head."

"I am not mistaken, am I?"
